Chapter 74: Die or Freeze 3
Baek Moo-jin and Jin So-hye briefly locked eyes before turning to watch the black-clad figures charging toward them, kicking up dust.
Baek Moo-jin said flatly.
“Twelve… thirteen.”
They were still quite a distance away.
The first black-clad figure spotted Baek Moo-jin and immediately drew his sword from its sheath on his back. The man following directly behind him warned his subordinate, channeling his inner strength.
“Oh Gyeong, looks like the White Night Society. Let’s just go.”
At those words, the man called O Gyeong whirled his sword around, then flicked his tongue at Baek Moo-jin and Jin So-hye.
“Consider yourselves lucky.”
The one who warned against attacking the White Night Society seemed to be their leader. Baek Moo-jin scanned them; most appeared to be in their late twenties to early thirties. Their attire gave nothing away, but they clearly looked like warriors belonging to the Nine Heavens Alliance.
In any case, upon the leader’s command, the black-clad figures split left and right, passing right past Baek Moo-jin and Jin So-hye. At that moment, one holding a sword recognized Jin So-hye’s face and let out a short exclamation as he passed.
“Oh! Pretty, huh?”
At those words, Jin Sohye lit up her eyes and glared at the man gripping the sword. Then, the passing man, who seemed quite skilled with words, turned his head back and chuckled.
Jin Sohye said to Baek Mujin.
“Brother, he looks like Gu Cheon-maeng. He seems to be heading to Mahyeon. We should chase him down and kill him.”
